Stars have been used for navigation for thousands of years. Different stars are in different sections of the sky and can even tell you what your latitude and longitude are, provding you have proper equipment. Before maps where made people had to guess using the North Star and the sun. If they don't have a GPS or a compass they follow the stars.
